Corey Taylor has posted a photo on Instagram of him apparently writing lyrics for SLIPKNOT‘s next album. The photo, which was captioned “Working… #slipknot,” can be seen below.
When he was asked by Musik Universe if he has heard any of the music Shawn “The Clown” Crahan has been composing with the other instrumental members of SLIPKNOT, Corey responded:
“Yeah, I have. It’s awesome. That’s all I’m gonna say about it. It’s everything I wanted it to be. They’ve been sending me stuff here and there. And it’s so funny too, because they’re, like, ‘We don’t wanna send you anything till it’s ready.’ And I’m, like, ‘All right. All right.’ I’ve been very patient. I’ve gotten about six songs now, and they’re really, really good. And just in kind of that demo form. And by ‘demo,’ I mean really just the fact that it’s maybe a little longer than it will end up. Because what you wanna do is you wanna take that idea and extrapolate it to the point where you’ve exhausted every kind of idea. And then you kind of take it and you shorten it and you break it down and you formulate it and you get it to a little more solid, a little more fluid. And that’s where it’s at right now.”
